Will the ability for servicemen to sustain very high G forces be something you foresee being important for the militarization of space? I could see a future in which it isn't due to autonomous weaponry having that burden while manned craft moved much more slowly and acted as C&C only. Also, it seems like varying thrust would make doing so long term a lot easier, so you have high G "shifts" where crew are lying down and doing whatever possible to make it safer and more bearable and low G shifts for maintenance and breaks but I have never heard of this in fiction, is there some obvious flaw to it?
aerospace engineering isn't exactly /k/'s subject matter
>>65430146Yes, it is. What are you talking about?
>>65430172How many planes have you designed?
>>65430117And how would these near future manned military spacecraft be able to achieve high sustained G's with realistic engine technologies and not Expanse bullshit? High power fusion torches might do third of a G. Chemical rockets can do a lot more if they don't care about any meaningful amount of Dv. Fission thermal rockets are somewhere in between. But anything with high enough acceleration to cause blackouts has low Dv and is most likely a missile and not a manned craft.
>>65430117I think weapons platforms will be uncrewed while transports will be limited to constant acceleration of ~2g assuming engines can ever do that.>>65430146This is an autist board, I have made several 1,200psi solid fuel rocket motors from schedule 80 pvc and a few low pressure end burning sustainers.>>65430204Fusion torches have a lot of potential if they ever get the trillion in funding it'll take to develop them.
>>65430204>how do you go fast in spaceBy being absolutely bugfuck insane, and packing an engine appropriate for your (lack of) state of mind.
>>65430180Four, but I had to use one of the napkins to blow my nose.
>>65430538Even with an nswr you're still not making blackout inducing G's
>>65430146is too
>>65430117Are we going to go the route of genetically and cybernetically augmenting people to withstand high g forces and zero gravity and radiation?
>>65430117Drones man.
>>65432934That's the most plausible answer for putting a living organism in a high-performance future craft. You could even breed them to do that shit if you had the resources and advanced methodologies to inheritable mutation gainsmaxxx.
>>65430117Space warfare is going to just be more air warfare. Unmanned crafts, surface to orbit ordinance. Infantry and manned vehicles are obsolete in space.
>When you nut be she still suckin
>>65432934We are going the route of drones and pilots, if there are any, sitting on couches with Xbox controllers
>>65433585How is that in any way relevant? If they're directly controlling shit with a controller they're within spitting distance as far as space scale goes.
>>65430180My father works at Blohm&Voss, id say im pretty much an expert when it comes to aerodynamics.
>>65433571The time delay in communications alone means someone will have to be present. For example, it can take up to 40 minutes for a Mars rover to send info to earth and have instructions sent back, and that's ignoring the time it takes to process the info and make a decision on Earth. Then there are week long periods where the sun masks any radio transmissions from Mars to Earth and weeks more from Earth to Mars. These problems only get worse the farther out into the Solar System you go.

>>65430117what is in space that's worth killing for. isn't it literally just dead out there
OP is a faggot and >>65430204 said all that's relevant to say without going full scifi.>>65430146Well...>>65435025In the short term, the (gravitational) high ground. In the far future, space mining maybe, but I very much doubt it will ever make any economic sense. The rocket equation is the worst bitch there is.
>>65435025Lots of metals that are essentially unobtainium on Earth as they are so heavy they are in its core unless brought by dino-killers, but in space, because they are in the core of small asteroids, are relatively easy to access. If we built something like the Hephaestus mining platform from Tachyon: The Fringe, we could have cheap and way better catalytic converters, and iridium coated inconel turbines, for instance.
>>65435112can't we just do chemistry bullshit to get those metals here on earth? you know when you convert materials to another through... things beyond my paygrade.
>>65435964No.
>>65435964You can make whatever you want with a particle accelerator, and you can make most things with fusionIt's about if you can do it cheaper and/or at greater scale
>>65435112You've just described why they're not worth killing for in space, only on earth while earthbound.
>>65435991No, he did not, retard
>>65435996>let's have a costly and difficult war over an abundant and easy to access resourceYou're a retard.
>>65436008Crude oil costs half that of milk.
>>65436013No it doesn't. 1 barrel of crude is 136kg and is currently $85 USD ($0.62/kg). 1 cwt of milk is 45kg and is currently $21 USD ($0.46/kg). It's extremely unrucky for you that you tried that particular piece of bullshit with someone who is involved in the dairy industry.
>>65436060Why are you bringing mass into the discussion of two things universally measured by volume?42 gallons of crude is $85, $2.02/gallon.
>>65436064Because both of them are actually measured by weight if you work in the industry, because volume varies with temperature, you dunce. Also, you need to use the farm gate price for ungraded whole milk, you dunce.
>>65436086Why do I need to do this? I have no desire to prove you right and that is the only possible motivation to follow your methodology I can think of.
>>65436091You can do it by volume if you want. The answer won't materially change. "Crude" milk is cheaper than crude oil no matter how you cut it.
>>65436098OK, but where did I mention "crude milk"?
>>65436101Here: >>65436013>Crude oil costs half that of milk."Milk" doesn't mean only the small fraction of the highest grade of milk, with the most expensive and constrained logistic chain measured at the packaged consumer retail price in a conversation about the relative scarcity of "Milk" vs "Crude Oil". Only an absolute mouth breathing retard eagerly digging to the most abyssal depths of the Dunning-Kruger trench would think that the thing he buys in a supermarket is Milk™ and that it tells him what all milk is worth so that he can infer some Big Brain Ideas about why we have wars over resources.Basicallt, fuck you for not being rigorous or thinking properly while smugly calling other people retards and thinking you're an insightful savant, buddy.
